Google Calendar and Account Data

Our Service integrates with Google Calendar and authentication services under Google's OAuth policies. Your Google data usage is strictly limited to:

• Authentication Only: We use Google OAuth solely to verify your identity (email, name, profile)
• Event Creation Only: We create new calendar events in your Google Calendar based on your text messages
• No Data Access: We never read, access, view, or retrieve any of your existing Google data or calendar content

How It Works

1. You authenticate with Google (one-time setup) 2. You send us text messages with event details 3. We create new events directly in your Google Calendar 4. You manage all events through Google Calendar's interface

Your Google Account Remains Private

We never see, access, or interact with: - Your existing calendar events - Your Google account content - Your personal Google data - Any information beyond basic authentication credentials

Google Data Retention
